The camera was anxiety inducing.
The really stressful part was the complaints about altitude. There are other 4ks in the Swiss Alps or nearby. The Gouter hut in the Mont Blanc is at 3800+ meters above sea level. Not that hard to acclimate to altitude without the challenge of climbing icy rocks in steep walls.
Same guy climbing in a gym, nicer vibe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EsdeUBBVNM
Agree. I am a climber, and I had sweaty hands watching the video… I know this guy, and he’s a seriously strong climber…
Thank you and.. I hate you 
I am seriuosly scared of ‘outdoor heights’. I can’t bear to go anywhere near a cliff edge and always have to carefuly plan any walks in hills even to make sure there are no drops. But I am horribly captivated by videos like this. I’m guessing the camera made some of the surfaces look more vertical than they really are but all the same I watched in horror and fascination because its obviously all very very dangerous. The horrible bit was .. he was a bit scared and that made the whole thing even worse. So.. er.. thanks
I hope you didn’t miss the bit at 20:50 when the climber next to him fell. This was crazy. The rope saved that guy.
The thing is, Magnus doesn’t seem to be attached to a rope, that climber could have easily knocked him off the mountain.
